She's Leaving Home (feat. Phantogram, Julianna Barwick & Spaceface)

Lyrics

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
 Silently closing her bedroom door
 Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
 She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief
 Quietly turning the backdoor key
 Stepping outside she is free
 She (We gave her most of our lives)
 Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
 Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
 She's leaving home after living alone
 For so many years (Bye bye)
 Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
 Picks up the letter that's lying there
 Standing alone at the top of the stairs
 She breaks down and cries to her husband "Daddy our baby's gone
 Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
 How could she do this to me?"
 She (We never thought of ourselves)
 Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
 Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
 She's leaving home after living alone
 For so many years (Bye bye)
 Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
 Waiting to keep the appointment she made
 Meeting a man from the motor trade
 She (What did we do that was wrong)
 Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
 Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
 Something inside that was always denied
 For so many years (Bye bye)
 She's leaving home
 Bye bye
